Trust me, under those conditions, a mesh jacket is NOT cooler. Anything that reduces the aspiration cooling even the slightest WILL contribute to an increase in your core temperature and more water loss due to "run off".

There IS a point where the risk line for one kind of danger crosses the other one and becomes more important.

:jawdrop: :plus1: Me and Easy Rider 100% totally agree on something, did the earth shift off its axis or something :lol: .

By the way, I borrowed the last line of your post to put on my signature, hope you don't mind.
